New frozen vegan canapé selection helps caterers add colour, globally inspired flavour and plant-based choice to events, banqueting and hospitality occasions with minimal preparation.

Plant-based catering has moved well beyond offering a single token option. Across hospitality and events, operators are increasingly looking for vegan products that feel considered, visually appealing and easy to serve alongside the rest of the menu.

That is exactly where Tipiak’s new Vegan Canapé Selection comes in.

Tipiak, the French frozen foodservice specialist, has launched a new 36-piece Vegan Canapé Selection for the UK market, created to help caterers add variety, colour and contemporary flavour to canapé receptions, banqueting and event catering.

Presented in a recyclable kraft tray, the selection brings together six vegan bites inspired by a mix of flavours and textures, creating a product that feels vibrant and modern while still being accessible and easy for guests to enjoy.

The selection includes:

o Falafel-style bites, lemon sauce, chives and mint

o Corn and flax seeds crackers, guacamole, parsley

o Tomato, piquillo and bell pepper tartlets

o Vegan blinis, coconut bean tartare, lemongrass and coriander

o Carrot cakes, Indian-style carrot delight, sesame seeds

o Hazelnut shortbread, beetroot and raspberry hummus, hazelnut slivers

For operators, the appeal is not just in the flavour profile. Vegan options increasingly need to work for mixed groups, premium occasions and busy service periods, which means presentation and operational simplicity matter just as much as the ingredient list.

Marie-Emmanuelle Chessé, International Marketing Manager at Tipiak, said: “Plant-based canapés need to do more than meet a menu requirement. They need to look inviting; offer flavours guests will enjoy and work practically for caterers too.

“With the Vegan Canapé Selection, we wanted to create something colourful, full of flavour and easy to appreciate, while also giving operators a format that is simple to prepare and easy to serve.”

That balance is especially important in event and hospitality settings, where caterers need products that can be served confidently and consistently without creating unnecessary back-of-house pressure. The Vegan Canapé Selection is supplied frozen and requires just four hours to defrost, helping teams deliver a premium-looking vegan offering with minimal preparation.

The format also supports portion control and consistency, making it well suited to drinks receptions, buffets, hospitality events and other foodservice occasions where smooth execution and strong presentation both matter.

As with the wider Tipiak range, the emphasis is on combining visual appeal with ease of use. Tipiak has been serving UK foodservice for more than 20 years with elegant frozen party food and pâtisserie, and the new Vegan Canapé Selection sits naturally within that offer, giving caterers another way to introduce a high-impact plant-based product without adding complexity.
